Begin by placing the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Squeeze the juice of two lemons over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Next, add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and soy sauce to the crockpot, mixing them gently with the chicken.
Chop the sweet bell peppers into strips and scatter them over the chicken mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the cilantro-lime rice by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Once the chicken is cooked, shred it gently with two forks and mix it with the sweet peppers and sauce in the crockpot.
Serve the lemon-ginger chicken over a bed of cilantro-lime rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
